custom_n be_v so_o dangerous_a that_o sometime_o ordinary_a thing_n disuse_v bring_v on_o the_o necessity_n of_o death_n wherefore_o by_o degree_n the_o force_n of_o custom_n be_v to_o be_v mollify_v or_o harden_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n to_o which_o we_o intend_v to_o travel_v that_o when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o mature_a place_n of_o observation_n we_o may_v show_v no_o infection_n of_o bitterness_n and_o spleen_n this_o preparation_n be_v orderly_o practise_v we_o ought_v to_o proceed_v wary_o to_o the_o chief_a place_n of_o the_o kingdom_n i_o call_v not_o those_o place_n the_o chief_a wheré_o the_o court_n do_v usual_o reside_v which_o sometime_o choose_v the_o most_o pleasant_a not_o famous_a place_n but_o those_o city_n which_o be_v
